Welcome to a new year with all new food adventures! Our NEIGHBORHOOD GEMS series features emblematic meals from around the world. This series shines a light on local restaurants and is designed to bring together inquisitive foodies and dishes that are unique and oh so worth a trip on roads less traveled! Join us for a memorable evening at ***Beteseb Restaurant*** \- one of Tom Sietsema's top 40 Restaurants in the area \(October 2025\)\! **Washingtonian (Jan 2025)** Lately, we've gravitated to this homey SIlver Spring dining room for our injera fix. The vegetarian platter is a gorgeous color wheel showcasing tumeric - spiced cabbage, vibrant sauteed greens, and three kinds of lentils, each distinct and delicious. Green salad, often an afterthought, gets a zippy dressing. Omnivores: Add the excellent beef tibs to your platter. Even if you upgrade to the juicy rib eye, Beteseb offers incredible value. **Washington Post (October 2025)** Declaring “the best” Ethiopian restaurant in a region overstocked with them is a challenge. While their menus tend to read alike, they distinguish themselves with fine points. Let’s just say Beteseb Restaurant in Silver Spring is where I think about going most often when I need my kitfo and vegetable fix. No other Ethiopian spot of my acquaintance has a more compelling physical menu. It comes in the shape of a round of injera, with lush, life-size photos of some of the dishes you can order. My current fascination is dullet: boiled, ground beef tripe seasoned with cardamom, jalapeño and mitmita — a torch song trilogy rounded out with garlic, onion and butter. I like to pair the offal with one of the top vegetable combinations around, a garden of delights gathering lentils in three colors: near-melting cabbage, garlicky collard greens and an orange puddle of shiro, chickpea flour stew shot through with onion, garlic and berbere. Thought has gone into the 50-seat storefront, a wall of which reflects a shade of yellow lentils and a corner of which displays woven baskets and wine. A silver-toned silhouette of Addis Ababa adds to the interior appeal. Beteseb translates from Amharic to “family,” which sums up both the business owned by chef Darmyelesh Alemu and her brother, Aynalem Zeleke, and the chef’s philosophy. “We want you to feel like family when you come in,” she says. Done! **Check out the menu** [here](https://www.betesebrestaurant.com/menu-1) Separate checks will be arranged in advance. All diners will settle their own tabs. We ask that ALL folks honor their RSVP. If you are unable to attend after sending in a YES, please update your status so that others may join and help us support local businesses. In the event our group incurs a fee for no-shows / late cancellations, your ability to RSVP for future events will be restricted. Thank you in advance for your understanding. To enhance the opportunity for great conversation, we will continue to limit the group size. Please feel free to sign-up to meet us along with up to 3 friends. **\*\*** **WAITLIST:** Meetup does not allow waitlists for paid events. *If this event fills and you would like to be added to the waitlist, please send a note to the host through the Meetup app. **\*\**** In the future, we will vary the days of the week and the types of restaurants to keep events interesting. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE COMMITTED TO GO WHEN YOU RSVP FOR THIS EVENT. Feel free to make suggestions for future meet locations. \*\* The small non-refundable registration fee helps us share the cost associated with the Meet-Up platform ($360/yr) and reduces the likelihood of no-shows, allowing us to better plan our events and accommodate all participants. Meetup charges $0.51 and Paypal charges $0.53 on the $2 registration fee. Thanks in advance for your understanding!\*\* If you are unable to join us in January, we hope you'll stay interested and join us for a meal in the future. Looking forward to catching up with you for delightful Ethiopian dinner at Beteseb Restaurant!

This training is designed for real estate agents who want to learn how to play the Agent Investor game. The goal of this training is to help you flip your income into ownership. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ **Most real estate agents build their business one transaction at a time.** Investors build wealth—and they buy repeatedly. The Investor Decoder shows why serving investors is the fastest path to predictable income, repeat deal flow, and a higher-value role in real estate. In this session, you’ll learn how to identify and serve the four core investor profiles that drive the majority of investor activity: * The Flipper – speed, volume, and clear exits * The Landlord – long-term cash flow and stability * The Creative Investor – complex deals and problem-solving * The Private Lender – capital partners who enable scale You’ll discover how each profile thinks, what they value most, and what they expect from an agent—so you can position yourself as a trusted advisor instead of just another salesperson. We’ll also cover: * Why investors represent a massive opportunity in today’s market * How working with investors elevates you to a Real Estate Wealth Advisor * The key questions that quickly decode investor goals and timelines * A clear action plan to start building your investor pipeline If you’re ready to escape the transaction treadmill and earn more by working with investors, this session will show you how. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ **Did you miss it?** [Watch all GRID Reston event playback on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOTh5kxLLJI1G3VH6Pqhlhu0uTA8yrdpi) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ **Join the GRID Facebook Community** [Join the online GRID community here](https://www.facebook.com/groups/gridinvestor) to post deals, ask questions, and connect with other investors across the globe.

### Monthly Group Mentoring on Prosperity **with Rev. Honi Borden & Michael Abramson** This Monthly Group Mentoring on Prosperity is a sacred, ongoing space for individuals who desire to **Align with the Frequency of Prosperous Beingness** as guided and embodied by Rev. Honi Borden and Michael Abramson. Prosperity is not something to acquire—it is a **state of being** already available through God Almighty. Within this mentorship, participants are lovingly and powerfully guided to **tune into the frequency of prosperity from within**, experience its presence internally, and recognize how it naturally seeks to express itself through their life. As you align with this Prosperous Beingness, you will: * Experience what prosperity **feels like** on the inside—peace, trust, sufficiency, divine flow * Gain clarity on what prosperity **looks like** when lived in alignment with God’s design * Discover **practical, actionable steps** to allow more prosperity into your daily life, work, service, and relationships * Release unconscious limitations that restrict the natural flow of God’s blessings This **embodied, frequency-based mentorship** is designed to support the integration of prosperity into your consciousness, choices, and lived experience—so prosperity becomes a natural expression of who you are, rather than something you strive for. It is for individuals who truly desire to **live their highest and greatest purpose-filled life**—a life led by God, designed to **impact lives, uplift humanity, and serve with meaning and integrity**. In this space, prosperity becomes the natural fuel for service, generosity, and inspired contribution. When we live aligned with the Prosperous Beingness God has placed within us, our lives become a blessing—not only to ourselves, but to the world. This mentoring is an invitation to live from that truth. It meets last Wednesday of every month with group of Dedicated, Devoted & Desciplined individuals that have a Deep Desire To FullFill Their Life's Purpose By Being Truly Prosperous In Every Way. *** ✨ **DETAILS** 🗓 **Last Wednesday of each month** ⏰ **2:00 PM EST** 📍 **Live on Zoom** (Replay provided if Zoom is missed) 💎 **Investment:** • $222 Monthly (paid on the 1st of the month) • Members of Ascension Alchemy Association: $188 Monthly To Register, please email: Info@AscensionAlchemists.com so we can provide you with the link for payment and all the details. *(Please enter the amount manually)* EMAIL: Info@AscensionAlchemists.com To Register
